Muslim Law in Modern India – Paras Diwan

Where a student outline ends, Paras Diwan begins. Muslim Law in Modern India by Dr. Paras Diwan and Peeyushi Diwan is the analytical treatment of the subject — the text LLM candidates, judiciary mains aspirants, and serious LLB students turn to when they need the reasoning behind the rules. Diwan examines each institution of Muslim personal law — marriage, dower, dissolution, parentage, guardianship, maintenance, hiba, wasiyat, wakf, and inheritance under both Hanafi and Shia schools — against its historical development and the pull of constitutional values.

The 2025 edition engages the questions modern examiners actually set: judicial reform of talaq, maintenance after Shah Bano and Danial Latifi, the 2019 legislation, and the Uniform Civil Code debate — argued with the scholarly depth that made Diwan the leading authority on Indian family law.
